Mechadong Baka (Beef Mechado)

Mechadong baka is beef stew in tomato sauce, potatoes and carrots. A Filipino dish very similar to kalderatang baka and I always can’t tell the difference between the two when I see these dishes. They both have tomato sauce and potatoes but I always forget that carrot is not included in kaldereta.

This mechado beef recipe version is not the conventional way, which is cooking the raw beef in the pot with the tomato sauce and spices until the meat is tender, this one, you have to stir fry the beef first which I bet enhances the flavor of the dish.
